I wouldn't go back. Too hot for me. If you're a machine operator, you'd probably be okay. Try to find another ODT member down there and discuss at length work opportunities.

Swampy

Been in deep south ga my whole life, worked in valdosta 15 years and am 45 minutes NW of it now in Moultrie. Valdosta has gone down drastically in the last 5 years. It's slowly becoming another Albany. Cookie cutter houses being built and neighborhoods developed on north side of county on what was row crop farm land 10 years ago. Look at brooks, thomas or colquitt county. Thomas County is just north of Tallahassee, Thomasville has a lot of $ and job opportunity. Brooks or Colquitt to live in and work in Lowndes or Thomas.

Keep going a little ways and lose the state income tax?

Baking heat, monstrous humidity, no breezes, stagnant or failing cities, low wages, what’s not to love about South Central Georgia?

Thought about that. I think u have to be those for 6 months and a day to start that. And the houses are so different Its scary to drop everything, plus with 6 dogs if a hurricane where to come by it be hard to pack em up

Valdosta and Adel are both like the Bermuda triangle of speeding tickets on 75. It seems they make the bulk of their revenue in speeding tickets. I would never consider moving there. Too hot, flat and without scenery. It is essentially Indiana, but in hell.

Yall defenitly have me not wanting to go. I wanted to get a job a steeda , sent in my resume and they dont have any openings right now. Without job security it seems too risky.

Good onions too. Or is that another V-town?

I think a lot of folks are looking at moving as far away from the larger cities (and their inflated real estate prices) as they can. If you can make work 'work' there and you like the area I would definitely explore the option.

Vidalia is the onion Capitol of the world.
